Sorry my entire site looks like crap. I've had to remove my header and background images, as well as my sidebar badges, thanks to Photobucket, who will get ZERO of my monies. Eventually, I'll deal with broken images in posts.

Recently, my mother signed up for Facebook. She started by choosing the most unflattering photo she could find as her profile image. It's like a scowling snarling mug shot. SO fitting. Next, she friended all of the people from her local church community. Then she started playing Farmville. Which I have on ignore.

me: my mother just emailed me to ask if i'm farmville on facebookme: and i'm like - no, i don't play games on facebookKarmaChameleon: o.Ome: "then what do you use it for?"me: umm, stalking ex-boyfriendsme: DUHKarmaChameleon: lmao

Other than Farmville and church friends, all she seems to do is comment on Joe's status. Not even my status. Just his.

Joe asked why she never updates her own status. I told him that all of the people she's friends with already know her status - it's called going to church for some reason every day and then everyone there is so in everyone's business that there's no need for Facebook.

It's all kinda creepy. I think some people shouldn't be allowed on Facebook. Pick a deity of choice and offer up a prayer or small offering if she ever gets a blog or Twitter account.

My mom is on facebook too, my little sister (who's in college) put my mother on a "limited profile" so my mom cant even see all of my sister's photos. Mom will randomly call Kara (other sister) or I and ask if Jessie is doing anything illegal in her photos like pot or drinking underage or what not. It cracks Kara and I up because, no Jessie is NOT doing anything illegal, however she is wearing teeny tiny swimsuits, kissing a girl and living it up at college. Kara and I are sworn to secrecy though because Jessie has more muscle than either of us and we really dont want to get out butts kicked. lol

I'm now a total Twitter Convert. I really only pop into FB now and again to see if anything new is going on or to play the occasional WordScraper Game. I think my ADHD brain likes the small chunks and instant gratification of Twitter.

PS My mom does not even get onto the computer to do email. She swears the instant you get on the Internet, you will have you ID stolen and someone will stalk you and molest you.

Yikes! As a mom, and old enough to be yours, I am on Facebook and, obviously, have a blog. My daughters encouraged me to do both, so I hope I am not freaking them out. I do like learning that I can ignore those apps on Facebook.

my happiest day was when I decided to delete all my friends and family members (except for 2 friends) from Facebook and my second happiest day was when I decided not to check out any other features (Like games) on Facebook. I honestly have to say I don't miss it. Now my brother who resisted the web and social networks for a very long time loves and is addicted to Facebook; go figure

I would imagine if my MIL wasn't so ill and losing her memory, she would have enjoyed Facebook; I'm thinking my mom wouldn't have at all

I guess I'm lucky then that my mother is not on! My children have a bebo page and luckily the holidays have spurned them away from the need to play games on bebo! Thank goodness for swimming and cousins.

Ha! I'm on FB & I am probably your mom's age. I try hard to not comment much on my 26 yr old sons stuff. It's hard though! We message each other though, that works better. But of course I put up some goofy kid pics of him!!

My son got me to go on FB. Then he got me hooked on one of the games. Now he laughs at me. I didn't know you could comment on actual status. I see the reports of people commenting on someones status and thought they were made up. What do I know. Ya think my son purposely didn't tell me about the status thing?Oh well I am off to tend my crops.

About Me

It's a blog. I'll probably write stuff in it.
Me, I'm married, no kids, two cats, one boring job. My life isn't that exciting so I like to complicate things with overthinking, health issues, and anxiety attacks. I also enjoy reading, writing, travel (if I could control the anxiety attacks), wine, hockey, and music. And long walks on the beach. And a sugar daddy.
